Do you ever turn your mobile off ...

I turn it off every night to save the battery after getting a new one (battery that is).

I am not someone always carrying or checking my phone. If I go in the garden, my phone is left on the worktop.

I use my I pad far more than my phone.

If and when the landline goes, I may have to keep it on at night then.

I turn the sound off at night but certain people would still get through in an emergency. I always take it out with me but at home it is left wherever I last used it.

Oh how I’d love not to be tied to my mobile, but I’m the emergency contact for my mum, so have to have it next to me 24/7 .

My mobile is off 95% of the time.
I only really have one and use it, because others want me to.

Or deliberately leave it in another room?

I never have a phone in the bedroom unless Im expecting a very important call as I dont like to be woken up. There is a cordless phone in my upstairs office next door if I need to make a call.

I would never walk around the house with a phone in my hand as some folks do. Nothing is that interesting or imortant.
